David Raine is travelling, trying to escape his own memories. On the train he meets Father Rolland, who invites him North, to a world of "mystery and savage glory", to help him find himself again.

It contains the photograph of a girl and David makes it his aim to find her, while following Father Rolland into the mysterious North.
